    Yup 2 Barcelonas will give you 8 core power on this board with a bios upgrade , because ...Asus has promised us this. Are you gonna be the first AMD_user to try?


    heh heh, I agree. My last comment was related to the Lion King movie, that's about as non ST as you can get.

    well, i think i am going to wait until ASUS delivers on their promise. and once that happens i will probably get two and replace all my old, worn out servers. maybe even a third for my girlfriend .... if shes nice.

    and i just wanted to make sure no one paraphrased millhouse from the simpsons..... "Step across this line and i will kick you butt!..... at nintendo"

    I'm currently running one machine today with 2 quad cores from that "other" processor manufacturer. Getting a second from AMD would be really nice!!

    Out of interest what motherboard are you using ? I was thinking of a dual quadcore myself. These are pretty comparable to the xeon's in price.. I just can't seem to find which motherboards support them easily.. Bok
